I have heard a lot of
reasons why people don’t seem to care about this
People are busy (with the two and three and eight jobs that are necessary in great part bc the people who are in charge of suppressing wages are the same people trying to take everyone’s rights)
People don’t believe
their rights are affected because the people most immediately affected don’t
look like them
People believe it’s “too
complicated to care”
(and people are right
that it’s not simple to understand, and that’s been engendered on purpose, and
the people who would literally rule us *all* and take *all* our money do not
want people to understand any of it, which is what some of us )
So I’m putting all
these up because I don’t want people to have the excuse that “they didn’t have
the information”
Why Would They Stop There? - Lurie Daniel Favors
Confronting Callais - Modern Freedom Educators United to Fight For Democracy
Professors Carol Anderson, Kimberle Williams, Tim Wise, and Kaye Whitehead
Because that enables
would-be fascists – who are so serious about THEIR missions that YIL that
Russell Vought apparently got an advanced degree in African American studies to
learn about how the Louisiana slave trade was dismantled so he could reverse
engineer it (and a lot of that is in LDF’s talk today, but it’s also in Project
2025, which a lot of us asked everyone else to read before the 2024 Democratic
National Convention) – to weaponize ignorance
And I don’t think
that’s a state (or a nation-state) that any citizen of any supposedly “civilized’
nation wants to live in, whether they know it or not
I mean it with all
sincerity when I say that on this Star Wars Day that I hope you all live long
and prosper
Leader Stacy Abrams, also apparently acting President of the United Federation, reminds us they are doing this BECAUSE we are winning
